SWF to PNG with Actionscript 3.0 - ByteArray class

[Cazem]

Hi Flep,
I am able to add the redo button as you suggestion. I wonder if you can help me 1 more time. I want to add a brush button where user can chose the thickness of their pen to draw ( like 1 = thickness, 10 = lightness) ???

Hope you can help . Greatly appreciated.

Hi Cazem,

did you try by changing the value of lineStyle ?

Ello, I think you have a great example here.

I was trying it out on my server but am running into some problems maybe you can help.

The only thing i have changed from the zip file it'self was I published the file with an HTML page and change the two URLs in main.as to read my locations on the server

However once i hit "create image" it goes to the echo command but errors out saying it can not find the image. When I check the server the image isn't there either.

Any possible errors I could have done? I have no changed the php code either or anything else.

Oh nevermind. The image folder was given 755 once switch to 777 it all works great thanks again!

HEY
is it possible to save pngs transparently?

i've changed the bitmap Data parameters to (height, width, TRUE);
and left it empty for background color. and ive changed swf's wmode to transparent.

yet PNG still has a white background?


i need to mask an image and save that as a png, its an oval mask so cant have any background color

thanks

Hey Antigirl,

Sounds like we might be working on the same kind of project. I have mine exporting with a mask leaving me with an oval. and if i show the image right away I have it with a transparent background. However the file it saves to the server does not have the transparent background.


I would be glad to work together to find the answer to the same goal.

hey i think i have transparency working

in your bitmap code, make sure background is white

PHP Code:

if(myBitmap.width>2&& myBitmap.height>2)
            {
                var encoding:PNGEncoder;
                bitmap_data=new BitmapData(Mask.height,Mask.width,true,0x000000); 


my main problem is that pngencoder takes snapshot from 0,0 to whatever height width stated, on the stage, is it possible for snapshot to start anywhere else on stage rather than 0,0?


thanks

[Iszard]

well 0x000000 is black for starters so thats not transparent. It comes up with a black background.

And as for it not starting a 0,0 that i have not seen done. However my work around was putting it in a MC so that is 0,0 and i interact with everything inside that MC giving me that 0,0 and yet giving me the freedom to work with my image

[antigirl]

doesnt matter what background is so, the 3rd field is for transparency


BitmapData(width:int, height:int, transparent:Boolean = true, fillColor:uint = 0xFFFFFFFF)

and it works for me !?

[Iszard]

My image seems to only still have the transparency if duplicated in flash. However if i save it to the server and well maybe it is how i am viewing it put I open the image in a browser and there is no transparency anymore.

I don't know XML and PHP well enough, so I am going to have to find an example to work off of to upload it back into flash
